BEATING APPARATUS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent NO. 617,093, dated January8, 1899.

Application filed February 1,1898. Serial No. 668,767. (No model.)

T all whom, it may concern.:

Be it known that I, REBECCA A. GIPPLE, a citizen of the United States,residing at Oreston, in the county of Union and State of Iowa,

have invented a new and useful Beating Apparatus, of which the followingis a specification.

My invention relates to beating or agitating apparatus adapted for useas an egg-beater,

ro batter-mixer, churn, and ice-cream freezer or for any analogouspurpose contemplating the rapid and complete beating or agitation of thecontents of a receptacle; and the object in view is to provide a simple,compact, and

efficient construction andY arrangement of parts suitable foraccomplishing the desired purpose without allowing the leakage orsplashing of the contents of the receptacle or the influx of surroundingliquids, such as salt zo water, when the receptacle is arranged in thetub or ice-holder of a freezer.

Further objects and advantages of this invention will appear in thefollowing description, and the novel features thereof will beparticularly pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective View of a beater constructedin accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view ofthe same, taken parallel with the axis of the dasher or agitator. Fig. 3is a partial sectional View taken in a plane transverse to the axis ofthe dasher or agitator. Fig. l is a view of the beater arranged in an 35 ice-holder as seen when adapted for use as a freezer.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in all thefigures of the drawings.

The receptacle of the beater embodying my invention consists of ahemispherical pan l, having a suitable base 2, and a hemispherical topor cover 3, provided with a suitable handle L1. The top or cover isprovided with an inner rim or flange 5 to iit within the upper edge ofthe pan, and the meeting edges of the pan and cover are provided withregistering half-bearin gs, in which is mounted the dasher or agitatorspindle 6, provided in contact with 5o the inner surface of thereceptacle with disks 7, which are covered at their upper sides by hoodsS, carried by the cover, said hoods having half-bearings to lit snuglyupon the upper side of the spindle 6, inclining or bulging inwardly fromthe inner surface of the cover and extending below the center of thespin'- dle to convey liquid to a point below the spindle, and henceprevent it from finding an outlet through the spindle-bearings. Mountedupon the lid or cover is a driving or master 6o gear 9, having anoperating crank or handle l0, and fixed to the contiguous extremity ofthe dasher-spindle is a pinion 11, with which said master-gear meshes.In order to prevent liquids on the exterior surface of the receptaclefrom gaining access to the interior thereof,

an exterior hood 12 is provided on the cover contiguous Vto thepinion-provided end of the spindle to fit over the upper side of thespindle, said hood being of a construction analo- 7o gous to that of thehoods or shields 8, which are located interiorly of the receptacle.

The dasher or agitator consists of a plurality of ring-blades 13,extending through or otherwise efficiently secured to the spindle 6, anddiametrical elliptical loops 14 and 15, spanning the space encircled bythe main exterior loops or rings y15. In the construction illustratedthe loops 14 are arranged with their inner or contiguous sides adjacentto 8o the center of the spindle 6, while their outer sides are spacedfrom the contiguous portions of the ring l3,which is diametricallyspanned by said loops 14, and the elliptical loop 15 is arranged in theplane of the other exterior ring 13, with its extremities attached tosaid ring and the centers of its sides firmly attached to the spindle.This construction of dasher provides for whipping and efcientlyagitating the contents of the receptacle not only 9o by reason of thepeculiar arrangement of the rings and loops thereof, but also becausethe exterior rings operate close to the inner surface of the receptacle,which, as above set forth, is spherical. In order to prevent the escapeof the contents of the receptacle through the joint between the coverand the. pan at the upwardly moving side of the dasher, I provide acrescent-shaped deiiector 16, fixed to the inner surface of the pan,taroo pered toward its lower edge and adapted to be traversed at itsinner surface by the said exterior rings of the dasher. This deflectorextends at its center above the joint between the members of thereceptacle.

In Fig. 4 I have shown the apparatus arranged in a bucket or ice-holder1'7, having slots 1S and 19, respectively, for the reception of theshaft of the driving-gear 9 and the spindle 6, the iianged cover 2O ofsaid bucket or holder being adapted to bear upon the handle 4 o n thelid or cover of the receptacle 1 and being in turn held in place by across-bar 21, which is engaged with eyes 22 on the wall of the holder.It is obvious that ice or other freezing agent maybe packed in theholder not only at the sides and bottom of the receptacle, but coveringthe top thereof, and asuitable outlet 23 for salt water or other liquidis provided to prevent the rising of the surface thereof above the planeof the upper edge of the pan.

From the above description it will be seen that an apparatus constructedin accordance with my invention is adapted not only for beating eggs andsimilar materials and also for beating or mixing batter, but also forchurning and for agitating the contents of a receptacle during thefreezing operation, and the peculiar construction of the mechanism issuch as to adapt it for accomplishing the desired heating or mixing withthe minimum exertion upon the part of the operator and with a smallexpenditure of time.

In order to prevent lateral movement of the receptacle in the ice pailor holder, I employ springs 24 or their equivalents, attached to thewall of the pail and terminally bearing against the exterior surface ofthe disk or lower member of the receptacle, as shown in Fig. 4.

Various changes in the form, proportion, and the minor details ofconstruction may be resorted to without departing from the spirit orsacrificing any of the advantages of this invention.

Having described my invention, what I claim is- 1. A beating apparatushaving a spherical receptacle of sectional construction, a dasher ofcircularcontour having its spindle mounted horizontally in suitablebearings in the Walls of the receptacle, operating devices for thedasher-spindle, and an interior deiiector 1G, crescent-shaped in plan,arranged in contact with the wall of the lower section of the receptacleat the upwardly-moving side of the dasher, and extending upward tooverlap lthe joint between the sections to form a breakjoint, saiddeiiector being tapered in vertical cross-section toward its lower edge,substantially as specified.

7 and hoods 8 carried by the upper section of the receptacle,overhanging and inclosing the disks, and extending downwardapproximately to the lower sides of the disks and below thedasher-spindle, to convey drippings inward from the joints between thesections and carry the same downward beyond the spindle, substantiallyas specified.

3. A beating apparatus having a spherical receptacle comprising upperand lower sections provided at their horizontal meeting edges withregistering half-bearings, a dasher having its spindle mounted in saidhalf-bearings and provided contiguous to the innersurface of thereceptacle with disks 7 overlapping the joint between the sections, oneend of said spindle terminating short of the outer surface of thereceptacle and the other end extending therethrough, inner hoods 8carried by the upper section of the receptacle, overhanging andinclosing the disks on the dasher-spindle and depending to points nearthe lower sides thereof, an exterior hood 12 also carried by the uppersection of the receptacle and extending downwardly and outwardly toembrace the upper side of the projecting portion of the dasher-spindleexteriorly of the receptacle, and depending below the lower sidethereof, and exterior means for operating the dasher-spindle,substantially as specified.

4. The combination of an interiorly-spherical receptacle having aninclosed dasher provided with a spindle extending exteriorly of thereceptacle, and a master-gear meshing with a pinion on the spindle ofthe dasher, with a holder inclosing said receptacle and provided in itsside wall with slots extending downwardly from its upper edge for thereception, respectively, of the master-gearshaft and dasher-spindle, aflanged cover closing the top of the holder and bearing upon the top ofthe receptacle, anda transverse securing-rod fitted in diametricallyopposite eyes on the holder to span and maintain the cover thereof inplace, substantially as specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixedmy signature in thepresence of two witnesses.
